We aren’t exaggerating when we say that we harassed, cajoled, begged and pleaded with glass artist extraordinaire Kristin McFarlane to be a part of Moose. Thank my old high school, John Curtin, whose motto was ‘Persevere and Advance’. And it’s not just because she’s an international award winner who has exhibited everywhere twice and in her spare time designs the trophies for the Australian of the Year awards, it’s because….well…….look at the work!

Kristin manages to combine her sublime glass skills with some amazing typography and graphics – all designed by her super-talented self.

We imagine that anyone who receives the Australian of the Year award feels pretty proud of themselves on the day, but we imagine that having the trophy to look at each day that follows is a pretty special feeling too.

So, we were beyond ecstatic when poor Kristin finally buckled under the weight of our begging and sent over some of her gorgeous pendants. Now everyone’s a winner! (And Kristin gets a break).
